Kobe stated that he wants to play 3-4 more years.
Howard didn't want to be a Kobe sidekick that long.
Kobe likes his world and didn't want Howard living in it.
Coach still loves a 38 year old guard too much.....

I thought we targeted the wrong people. Instead of AI (which I wouldn'y have really minded) and Rudy Gay, we should have looked at Mayo and Millsap. Pure, mid-level [players who could have grown with the team while still being effective with our young guns as they entered their primes.

And for the love of god J-Smoove is not a three. Maybe he could have played it in Woodsons broken system as a 22 year old. Not no more.

That's funny that Lawrence Frank will end up coaching the Nets first two games of the season. Frank is believed to be the highest paid assistant coach in NBA history, making over $1 million per season.
